Pathways to Healing
There are multiple pathways to healing.
Some healing comes through truly legitimate, honest, and educated doctors. We learned that “I am Science” is not among them. But for the good doctors, God gifts people with various talents; honest doctors are among those so gifted.
Then there is a focus on health through a healthy lifestyle and food. This is also a legitimate pathway to health.
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
And then there is supernatural healing. While on earth, Jesus healed many people supernaturally. Through the continued work of the Holy Spirit, people can still receive miracles from Jesus today.
I Corinthians 12:4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
9b to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles;
Acts 3:1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon’s, greatly wondering.
12 And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13 The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14 But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15 And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16 And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23 And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
God offers gifts of healing to mankind through many means. God gives man the freedom of choice so some pick one way of healing and some another. And some combine more than one pathway; those pathways work together.

Does This Describe AI?
Does this describe AI?
Revelation 18:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
AI “is not.” It is not human.
AI is talked about in human terms. It is not human. It’s a glorified computer, or many computers hooked together.
Computers are run by people.
Can AI be taken to task at law? I don’t think there is a law about AI.
But there are laws governing people.
In any war, the supply line is important. Energy runs the computers. Who is paying for the energy? And, if AIs are being used to destroy mankind, mankind is commiting suicide by giving energy to run the AIs or by permitting persons to continue with their experiments.
What gives one small cadre of people the right to seek to destroy the rest of the human race?
And the energy that runs those computers is a misuse of energy.
Are AIs running things now?
Psychological manipulation has been in the news lately.
Do AIs send out subliminal messages … to riot, to steal, to kill … and then people who are on their cell phones see those messages subliminally and respond?
And if that is true, then who is legally responsible?
You can’t take an AI to court.
You can take people to court.
Is AI running things now?
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.
And is this why certain politicians now make statements that counter common sense and moral law…like it is okay to steal, or it is okay to let prisoners out of prison, or it is okay to drink and that sobriety is bad? Certain politicians say things like this or advocate for these policies.
Have AIs been programmed to pick up on those statements from politicians, morph them into some kind of subliminal message, and then send them out to cause masses of subliminally controlled people to follow these evil ideas?
Have the AIs been programmed to listen to certain voices speak, and when those voices speak, it gives them the next programming directive?
So again, if this is true, who is legally liable?
The politician can claim, “I didn’t do anything,” but did he voice activated AI programming for destruction?
It is freedom of speech being perverted to destroy a nation.

Only a Moral and Religious People
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” John Adams
When the nation was formed, the Constitution was created by men who believed in Christian virtue. As John Adam pointed out, the constitution would only work for a moral and religious people.
A moral and religious people understand the spirit of the law and the intent of definitions to be line with the Bible, with the moral intent of the Bible.
These are the Ten Commandments given by God to mankind.
Exodus 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.
Let’s look at “thou shalt not bear false witness.” That regularly happens in the media and in the courts.
“Thou shalt not steal.” Some people regularly go into stores and steal.
“Thou shalt not kill.” Look at the crime rates in big cities and how often the innocent are killed. Then there is the war in Ukraine which has to do with investments based on the economics of war. People get rich by destroying stuff and then going in later and investing in the rebuilding. Corruption kills to protect itself.
“Honor thy father and mother.” The nuclear family unit has been broken down. The State does not recognize the rights of parents. There is general dishonor.
“Honor the sabbath.” Children’s sports are played on the sabbath. Corporations expect their employees to work in the sabbath. Many businesses are open on the sabbath. People do other things on the sabbath than going to the house of God.
Etc.
Freedom, in the minds of the earliest settlers who formed this nation, was freedom to live according to the principles that God set down in his word.
Freedom was the freedom to “love thy neighbor as thyself.”
Freedom was the freedom to obey God’s original commandment to be fruitful and multiply. It was the freedom for a man and woman to have children.
It was freedom to worship God.
Again, John Adams said that the constitution was only for a “moral and religious people.” Otherwise, we have what we have today.
The definition of the word “freedom” has been perverted into the freedom to do anything including murder, steal, peddle drugs, exist as a pedophile, transgenderism, war for profit, pharmeceuticals used for profit even if the drugs destroy people, government lies, injustice in the courts, etc.
That perverted definition creates all the destruction and mayhem that is seen on the nightly news.
If you take only one topic…transgenderism…Russia at the government level is against transgenderism. That one topic alone gives Russia the higher moral ground. Since God’s original commandment was to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28), Russia has planted its banner firmly in the soil of that which God wants for mankind.
Proverbs 14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Russia has taken its moral stance at the national level, at the level of its government. The United States has not. The word of God shows that God judges nations as sheep or goats.

When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness
Daniel, Joseph, and Jeremiah are examples of individuals being blessed during national judgments.
Where the United States as a nation went wrong is that it did not define freedom as freedom to do the will of God or to keep to God’s moral principles. In attempting to leave a national church in England, and avoid creating a new one, there was left a chink in the armor that is missing.
Freedom is not the freedom to do anything…wantonly kill, rape, pillage, steal, make profits off of war, be a pediphile, market drugs, market death and other negative things that do not qualify as “love thy neighbor as thyself.” The current societal working operative definition of freedom has been perverted into a definition in which a person is free to do anything, including murder and steal; this is not a biblical definition of freedom.
The early settlers understood a different definition of freedom. They came for the freedom to worship God.
But like happened so often in the history of Israel, when those original leaders and founders who understood and lived the covenant with God died off, then the nation moved into idolatry, rebellion, and rejection of God’s laws.
That is basically what has happened to the United States. Of course, there are individuals who seek to follow the Lord. But at a national level, it is evident the United States has rejected God.
This is where Russia has the upper hand and will win. Russia is against trangenderism. At a national level, Russis believes in Orthodox Christianity.
In the United States, you can have government officials who say their faith is a private matter. They say they are believers while they vote for abortion or push the toxic vaxx in the name of what they call…this is what Jesus would want.
The founding Fathers of the United States were Christians or deists. They certainly would not comprehend that their understanding of freedom of religion would be transformed by progressives to mean freedom to cut off body parts of children, kill babies, commit pedophilia and rape and peddle drugs.
There used to be something called the spirit of the law and the letter of the law. The letter of the law is supposed to embody what the spirit of the law means. When the two agree in righteousness, there are righteous and just laws. However, in the United States, the spirit of the law has been divorced from the letter of the law. Progressives try to maniupulate the letter of the law and manipulate definitions to bring about the changes they want, which is to legalize crime so they can freely do their criminal activities without the nuisance of lawsuits and consequences.
Ezekiel 18:24 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die.
25 Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Hear now, O house of Israel; Is not my way equal? are not your ways unequal?
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
28 Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
29 Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the Lord is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal?
30 Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin.
This article link below indicates that Russia knows this is a fight for the very moral Christian foundation of civilization itself. That is definitely not why the United States is in the fight, as a matter of fact, it is the exact opposite. The corrupted leadership in the United States wants to spread its corruption even further and its goal is Russia. I’m talking at the national level. I know there are individual Christians, but they are not the majority in leadership. We have satanists and globalists and big bankers and the military industrial complex running things. The Ukrainian war to them is an investment opportunity. The United States will not succeed because it is not fighting a just war. Russia, in focusing on saving Christian values, is fighting a just war.

Historical Legacy
At funerals or during live event speaker introductions, there may be highlights of important accomplishments.
None can match what Jesus Christ did.
What did Jesus do with his life?
Jesus conquered sin, hell, death and the grave, arose from the dead with the keys of death and hell; makes it possible for individuals to gain admission into God’s kingdom; and lives to make intercession for believers.
Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
No other religious leader or guru has this testimony but Jesus Christ.
Jesus says this about himself. He alone makes this claim.
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

The host of mighty men
2 Samuel 10:7 And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ishtob, and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 When Joab saw that the front of the battle was against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 And the rest of the people he delivered into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the Lord do that which seemeth him good.

How do you know?
How do you know anything?
Because so-and-so said so.
Where did so-and-so learn it?
From so-and-so.
And him? Where did he learn it?
From school.
Where did they learn it?
There are different forms of learning
Research scientists as we know them are a more modern invention.
There is trial and error. You cook the cookies too long. They burn. You course correct and do better next time.
When it comes to some historical things, how did man learn?
He ate a berry and died; the rest of society learned the berry was poisonous. That’s one way. Or maybe he listened to God and didn’t eat the poisonous berry.
In the case of Adam and Eve, God told them what to eat and what not to eat. They failed the test and got evicted from Eden.
Early man was closer to God.
Man did not come up from the slime. Man did not evolve from the slime.
Man was created by God. God walked with man in the cool of the day in Eden. Then man fell by listening to the serpent, the devil, satan who tempted man to disobey God.
Man had created abilities from God and then de-volved after the Fall in Eden. De-volved is the opposite of evolved.
Man has gone downhill, not uphill.
God is the source of original “witty inventions.”
Proverbs 8:10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Since man came from God, there is a soul, there is a conscience, there is an inner ability to hear when something is wrong.
But modern man ignores his conscience. Instead he makes decisions based on funding, bottom lines, board decisions, politically correct trends, what he thinks will promote the brand image, or other reasons than the voice and conscience from God that either directs him to move ahead or tells him to stop.
I Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Romans 14:23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
At certain points in history, a number of voices speak similar things since they are individually listening to their consciences and coming up with the same message.
Society has doubt that AIs are a good thing. Society should listen to misgivings that are coming from many people, including those who are most trained in the field of AI, and shut it down.

Transformed into an angel of light
Satan was thrown out of heaven after an unsuccessful coup. He came to earth and continues to attempt to rule a kingdom. He has appeared in different forms throughout history.
At the time of Eden, he appeared to Eve as a serpent. At the time of Abraham, false gods were clay images connected to invisible spirits. In this pseudo-scientific age, some corporate executives and government officials worship gods of climate change and transgenderism. Each historical age has a different manifestation.
II Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
The idea of the antichrist is not something unique to this time. John, who was one of the disciples of Jesus, talked about the antichrist in his day.
I John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Why has there been such an attack on original creation? Who would attack original creation but that great serpent, the dragon, satan who wars against the woman, who wars against the church, who wars against God, who wars against God’s creation? To take original creation, and cut off parts of men and women in the name of transgenderism, is to create a world where the very definitions of what it is to be human changes. Progressives use “fluid” definitions to enact their own agendas.
What if a man identifies as a woman, rapes a woman, and then re-identifies as a man or any one of 57 other varieties. What then? Is he/she/it guilty? If you are Jack one day and Jill the next, can Jill be charged with a crime? Or Jack?
Does transgenderism put someone in a untouchable legal definition? Are our laws prepared to deal with the confusion that will be brought by progressives? That confusion buys them time since go-along-to-get-along society generally operates on the defense and not the offense. We need to be proactive, prepared for their next move. And what if the antichrist is a transgender AI? Does that give the AI legal authority over mankind but mankind has no way to fight back? Do we have AIs currently in office posing as government officials? Some of them seem to hide from public view. Are we prepared to deal with these questions while we still have time?
Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space.
11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.
12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 5
Phillip Medhurst, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons
Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.

For want of a nail
“For the want of a nail the shoe was lost,
For the want of a shoe the horse was lost,

For the want of a rider the battle was lost,
For the want of a battle the kingdom was lost,
And all for the want of a horseshoe-nail.” Benjamin Franklin
Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Romans 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
I Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Joel 2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
